A monocrotophos [dimethyl (E)-1-2-methylcarbamoylvinylphosphate or MCP] -degrading strain named as M-1 was isolated from sludge collected from the wastewater treatment pool of a pesticide factory and identified as Paracoccus sp. according to its morphology and biochemical properties and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Using MCP as a sole carbon source, M-1 was able to degrade MCP(100 mg x L(-1)) by 92.47% in 24 h. The key enzyme(s) involved in the initial biodegradation of monocrotophos in M-1 was shown to be constitutively expressed cytosolic proteins and showed the greatest activity at pH 8.0 and 25 degrees C, with its Michaelis-Mentn's constant (K(m)) and maximum degradation rate (V(max)) of 0.29 micromol x mL(-1) and 682.12 micromol (min x mg)(-1) respectively. This degrading enzyme(s) was sensitive to high temperature, but kept high activity under alkaline conditions.
